HOLMAN: Montana Title V Maternal & Child Health Block Grant Needs Assessment
Project Description:
The Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant (MCHBG) is a federal program that supports promoting and improving the health and well-being of mothers, children (including children with special health care needs), and their families. In Montana, Title V Maternal and Child Health programs are administered by the Family and Community Health Bureau (FCHB) at the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS). As part of the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant, states are required to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment identifying MCH priorities every 5 years. The needs assessment includes collecting information from families about their own experiences and needs. The University of Montana Rural Institute for Inclusive Communities is conducting the Title V Needs Assessment.
